Eat, Drink And Be Healthy
This Holiday Season
We Americans take a great deal
of pride in our food heritage
especially at holiday time. How
ever, you don’t have to play
Scrooge and avoid all your favo
rite foods if you want to eat, drink
and be healthy. To get you started
thinking about some small, but
positive changes you can make
this year, let’s look at the options.
Maybe this will be the first time
you won’t have to deal with an
extra five or ten pounds on New
Year’s Day.
Exercise Your Options
If you simply must indulge in
all your fattening favorite foods,
plan to get additional exercise to
compensate for the calorie over
load. The average person bums
about five calories per minute
walking briskly, 11 calories a
minute swimming and 19 calories
for each minute spent jogging. So
if you walk one hour you can bum
off that extra piece of pie.
Participate in sports rather than
reclining mi your favorite chair
watching them on television.
Organize a football game or

Recipe Makeovers
You can save calories by mak
ing some minor changes in your
favorite holiday recipes. Try sub
stituting evaporated milk for eva
porated whole milk in your pump
kin pie. Whip nonfat dry milk
rather than heavy cream to top
your pie. To do this dissolve 'A
cup nonfat dry milk in 'A cup cold
water and chill. Whip until mix
ture stands in peaks. Add 1 table
spoon lemon juice and whip again
until peaks are soft Beat in lightly
2 to 4 tablespoons of granulated
sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla.
Skim the fat from your turkey
juices to make non-fat gravy.
Leave the nuts out of fudge and
cookies and save a whopping
number of calories. Season your
vegetables with fresh lemon juice,
spices or herbs instead of butter,
margarine or heavy cream sauces.
Of course, recipes handed down
through the generations, like
“Aunt Laura’s Triple Rich Fudge
Cake,” are not the ones you want
to change. Instead, look for ways

There is only one thing to do
with leftover cookies, cake and pie
make up “doggie bags” for
each of your guests to take home.
These are just a few suggestions
to get you started on the road to a
merry and healthful holiday. Plan
now for those small changes that
can add up to a big difference in
your waistline on New Year’s
Day.
This year try to focus more on
the spirit of the holiday season and
less on the food. If we start more
healthful and meaningful new
family traditions, such as taking a
walk after mealtimes or sharing
stories about our family history,
we might have the happiest and
healthiest holiday season of all.
